mural "Tempo" by Gordon Rayner is on themezzanine level.The line continues under the ravine, then goes into bored tunnel under Russell Hill to reach
Spadina Road , where the normal cut-and-cover tunnel resumes.During weekday morning rush hours, many northbound trains on the Yonge-University Spadina line are short-turned, resulting in more frequent service south of the station and less frequent service north of it.
